There's a Reason We Don't Make Gummies

Walk down any supplement aisle and you'll find plenty of gummies promising to make wellness a little sweeter, easier, and more enjoyable. We understand the appeal. But there's a reason you won't find gummies in the Rae lineup, and it comes down to a decision we make long before a product ever reaches your shelf: we choose the format that serves the formula, not the format that sells the formula.

It's one of the ways we bring our philosophy, Made with You in Mind, to life. Because while the way you take a supplement matters, what goes into it matters even more.

The Formula Comes First

At Rae, every product starts with research, not a delivery format. We begin by asking what ingredients we want to include, what amounts make sense, and which combinations best support the purpose of the formula. Only then do we decide how to deliver it.

That order is intentional because the format of a supplement can influence what's possible inside it. Gummies have to meet certain requirements for size, texture, and taste, which can limit how much of an ingredient fits into each serving or require additional ingredients to make them taste and feel the way people expect. When you're starting with a gummy, you're also starting with those constraints, and they can influence the decisions you make about the formula itself.

Capsules and powders give us more flexibility. They allow us to include meaningful amounts of the ingredients we've selected without the same limitations around sweetness, flavor, or the physical size of a gummy. That doesn't mean gummies are inherently bad or that every capsule is automatically better. It simply means we've chosen formats that give us the freedom to develop our products around the ingredients and amounts we believe belong in them, rather than adjusting those decisions to accommodate a particular delivery method.

Your Routine Is Bigger Than One Product

There's another important consideration behind that choice: your wellness routine probably doesn't begin and end with a single supplement.

Many of you take more than one Rae product, whether you're supporting different needs or building a routine that evolves with you. That means we're thinking beyond what goes into an individual capsule or scoop. We're also considering how ingredients and amounts add up across the products you may take together, and how each formula fits into a broader approach to everyday wellness.

It's easy to look at a supplement as a standalone product, but that's not always how it works in real life. Your routine is personal, and what you need can change over time. For us, thoughtful formulation means looking at the bigger picture and making intentional decisions about what belongs in each product, how much makes sense, and how those choices work within the routines you're actually building.

The Details Are Never Just Details

Choosing between capsules, powders, and gummies might seem like a small product decision, but it reflects something much bigger about how we approach wellness. We believe you deserve to understand the thinking behind what you're putting into your body, from the ingredients we select to the amounts we use and the format we choose to deliver them.

Convenience and personal preference matter, and we know that different formats work for different people. But we don't believe a supplement should be designed around what's trending or what looks most appealing on a shelf. We believe the most important decisions should happen long before the packaging is designed, with the formula leading the way.

The science determines the formula. The formula determines the format. Not the other way around.

That's what Made with You in Mind means to us. It's about making thoughtful choices at every step, even the ones you might never notice, so that what ends up in your daily routine is there for a reason.
